Create Your Own Lifesaver Candy Jello Shots
These sweet and tasty Lifesaver Jello Shots are the perfect backyard party treat. To us they scream summertime! Although you can obviously make these anytime of year.
Anytime you can mix alcohol with Jello we are all for it, and this one uses one of our favorite flavors: Cherry!
What makes cherry Jello even better? Why Cherry Vodka and Grenadine of course! These flavors mix so well together.
Throw on a gummy Life Save and you have yourself a winning jello shot!
For our recipe we used a cherry flavor gummy Lifesaver but you can mix it up and use the other flavors as well. You can also consider adding some whipped cream on top as well if you really want to fancy it up.
Have some fun making these shots and enjoy!
Can You Make Other Flavor Combos?
Absolutely! For our Jello Shot recipe we used Gummy Lifesavers so if you want to use those consider making other flavor combos inspired by their flavors.
Lifesavers gummies have five sweet flavors: cherry, watermelon, green apple, strawberry, and orange.
If you want to make one themed around each gummy consider the following:
- Watermelon Lifesaver with Watermelon Jello, Watermelon Vodka & Grenadine liquor
- Green Apple Lifesavers, Green apple Jello with Apple Vodka & Triple Sec
- Strawberry Lifesaver, Strawberry Jello with Strawberry Vodka & Grenadine liquor
- Orange Lifesaver, Orange Jello with Vodka & Triple sec
As you can see it’s a super easy change to make other flavors. You can use Grenadine for all or you can change it up with triple sec or other fruit based Liqueurs. This would be personal preference.
If you can’t track down a certain vodka flavor you can easily go with regular vodka or you can add a splash of fruit juice based on the flavor.
